Spring Offensive - Operation Michael

[=IRFC=Gardimus]

Curious, what numbers are we aiming for here? Is the intention to have more Germans than Entente(reverse of BS)? Are we concerned with the servers capabilities? Do we want to encourage people to sign up, or are we keeping this bit more on the DL so only the regulars play?

Feel free to put me on the entente side if needed.

 

I'm sure that if you bring the lass in your avatar, sufficient distraction will be produced along the whole front such that nobody will notice overflying Halberstadts!

I'll be flying Otto Kissenberth's Jasta 16b.  Unless I get instructed otherwise.

 

You can brag...My Edelweiss is bigger than Baeumer's.

Does filling out the poll count as signing up?

S! @J5_Baeumer

 

I seem to have lost my password for the J5 forum and I don't receive any email if I ask for a new password (the same happen last year).
If this is not a problem, could you send me by PM a new password so I can see all coms for this event and see what red team is talking about on the forum.

A big thank you for the help!

Important final rule clarifications and corrections.  See original post on this thread.

One question to mission designers: @J99_Sizzlorr, are the Halberstadt AI gunners set to a higher accuracy than on the regular FP server? Yesterday and today on the test mission they seem to laser-snipe.

 

Is flak set to a different accuracy level?

 

 

[No.23_Gaylion]

I got lazrrr sniped and blasted by AA several times. 

 

Now I warn everyone else and laugh at them falling dead when they don't take my advice lol

All AI gunners will be set to high as it was in Black September. German AA is very accurate as Entente AA was in Black September...

[BRONCO_66]

will fly entent...............TALLY

[JGr2/S27b_Loppnow]

Ahh, only bombers do what is necessary to win the war!

[1PL-Lucas-1Esk]

S!

 

Remember, chaps, 16:00 GMT is the mission start. Please show up earlier, so your Side Commander can brief you before the mission.

Good luck everyone!

[JGr2/J5_Hotlead]

Salute gents! 

 

Just a note; I hadn't voted on the poll earlier because I knew my next few Saturdays were going to be busy and this afternoon might be my only chance to participate. So I didn't vote on the poll because I didn't want to give team commanders a false idea of pilot numbers. After flying with @1PL-Lucas-1Esk, he mentioned that it would still be best for me to have voted on the poll. My apologies for that! I've voted now. ?

 

Thank you for putting on this event, J5! It was a fantastic time. ?

[=IRFC=kotori87]

Great fights everyone, salute! My only regret is that I didn't get to see the big 20+ plane strike in sector C. Did anybody get a track or video of that fight? Looking forward to next week's battle.

[1PL-KJ-1Esk]

Good fights, good time...btw who won this mission?

Good day!

I was trying to follow instructions described in first post, but somehow I can`t open jasta5 website and register there.

I would like to join the event and fly for Entente in this Saturday with virtual pilots from 1PL. 
Already voted in the poll and read the manual.

Is there any chance to sign me in to the event ?

regards

Did you follow this? https://www.jasta5.org/phpBB3/

 

Then hit the "register" key, accept the terms, and fill your info.

 

Or are you getting an error?

Are you behind a firewall or proxy that's blocking that address? Perhaps it has some active flters regarding games, etc.

Can't access it either. 

[J37_Daedallus]

S! all

 

I think this may be linked to the glitch with the parser affecting display on the Jasta5.org website after the update.

 

I get the same error msg when I try to see who is on the Flugpark

 

It is being worked on and should be fixed soon, if not, I'm sure we can sort something out about you flying on Saturday for Entente.

I was trying to get access from PC then from mobile phone. Same story. Just plz have in mind I would like to participate and register ;] Thx in advance!

[J2_Bidu]

Well, stats.jasta5.org seems to be down.

 

But the main registration you have to do is at https://www.jasta5.org/phpBB3/

 

You should also register at the parser (i.e. stats.jasta5.org), but I think that's for scoring purposes only.
